Search Engine question

[RickM]

There have been many times I could swear a term was included in a thread and could not search and locate the thread. Today I decided to spend a few minutes doing a quick exercise.

I wanted to locate this thread --> Which rims do you like best? Photoshop pics inside

It had to do with the selection of wheels for a members car. I participated in the thread and knew at least one person referred to the "Rims" as wheels.


My first search argument was....

Search for items including these words: wheels
Search By User Name (Exact): rickm
Forum: Porsche 911 Technical Forum

My results =

-Fuchs Replicas?
-Which pre '89 Fuchs wheels are still produced?


Next I figure the word "widebody" is used in the thread.

My second search argument was.....

Search for items including these words: widebody
Search By User Name (Exact): rickm
Forum: Porsche 911 Technical Forum

My results =

-Fuchs, Lindsey, or Ruf
-Porsche Slant Nose What do you think??
-Car cover for dust only?
-Anyone have pics of 17"-18" Compomotive wheels on a Widebody?



No luck so I hoped that I mentioned that the wheels had a deep dish.

Next I figure the word "widebody" is used in the thread.

My third search argument was.....

Search for items including these words: dish
Search By User Name (Exact): rickm
Forum: Porsche 911 Technical Forum

My results =

-Which rims do you like best? (<----the winner)
-Photoshop help please
-18 Wheels - Who's weigh less?



My point is that the thread I was looking for had the word "wheels" in it several times yet it does not come up in a direct search. As a matter of fact, so did almost every other thread. What am I missing?
